johnson might not have been a primarch. but I'm pretty sure the emperor would have adopted him and made him into one. XD

@@lonelybag8510 headcannon. The emperor heard of Sgt Johnson, felt jealous, and based his primarchs on him, yet always felt they never quite met expectations. Horus rebelled because he felt inadequate against the moon sized balls of Sgt Johnson to whom the Emperor kept comparing him to.

I always assumed Cortana was doing things like that in the background. Coordinating with the marines, stealing door codes, all that jazz. Like in Halo CE on Silent Cartographer, when she calls in that pelican full of rocket launchers and is all "They were bringing us heavy weapons. When I saw you were up against hunters I thought you could use them."

@@demicus Cortana did do that. Once John told Hood what to do, she most likely pinged two Longswords for a quick missile run. If anything is convenient, it's the fact the ship's shields were down. IAC just happened to be in the right spot, she was fresh launched from Cairo and was below, probably engaging the boarding parties/helping attack the larger cruiser.

Funnily enough, Chief is the one who did the calculations for the jump, all the SIIs are Genius level intellects, when he says to Cortana "I won't" when she says not to miss he's not just boasting. Cortana likely got the rest of it lined up though.

Rimmy has hearted my comment. That's it. Life goal done. I can go die in a ditch now. Peace out everybody.

@@Kisseyhersh123 they cant shoot their main cannon and shield at the same time im pretty sure. So when they started charging the beam to blow up that frigate, they knew that was the right time to go.

I was able to get through both checkpoints once. it made me feel awesome.

Fun fact of the day did you know that the reason why the covenant were able to jump while inside the atmosphere of a planet was because Cortana fucked up, In the book Halo first strike it is revealed that the covenant actually have no fuckin clue how the technology they have works and are effectively running it on minimum levels, basically they have all of their crap permanently set too training mode. In the book Master Chief and a small group of survivors from the Halo installation hijack a covenant flagship, The covenant AI inside the ship basically starts fighting a gorilla war against Cortana and deletes all of the software for the guns so that she cannot use the armaments of the ship, here it is revealed that human science, and mathematical understanding is actually way the hell more advanced than the covenant By like an order of magnitude, she designs her own firing algorithms for the warships weapons that take full advantage of their power and the difference is apocalyptic, In a single engagement for example in just a fraction of a second she sliced a pair of battle cruisers in half and wiped out an entire wing of saraph fighters, It wasn't a fight it was a straight up slaughter. The problem however is that she also discovered how to use their slip space technology magnitudally better than the covenant ever did, however as she was overburdened with all the data she had stolen from the Halo installation, she didn't take the time to properly annihilate the AI before it was able to steal her algorithms for the superior slip space calculations and beam them out to the fleet that was at reach.... It's an awesome book that I would highly recommend and it shows just how deadly Cortana is as she starts to Fight and win a one woman war against The entire covenant fleet on reach, And shows just how much the covenant depend on coping rather than innovating.

Wasn't it a frigate that was named "do you feel lucky" in the Haloverse?

Either way, it certainly wasn't lucky.

@@mornananchy495 they were feeling lucky, doesn't mean they were lucky

@@Elmithian I can very easily imagine him donating large chunks of his military pension to people on onlyfans, because let's be real, he knows he's not gonna retire so might as well put that money towards making sure he can have "Dildo Santa" written on his gravestone.

Think he got divorced and is a lonely alcoholic in the NOVELS.

@@Eldor-117 yay for modern day extended novels ruining charachters... sci-fi is dead

@@Eldor-117 Is this something from 343? Because I prefer to ignore the BS that comes out of them. Like with what happened to the ODST team in Halo 3: ODST. Or by making Spartans feel no longer special by making ODSTs all Spartans (I'm pretty sure that's what happened as I said, I ignore that stuff).

this has been changed to a close second due to "How you doin'?"

My favorite

You could pick any line from Johnson in H2 and it is a contender for best line. That's saying something because a lot of the lines in Halo 2 are awesome, even from Truth.

got to ask how bad was it?

@@reapereye2122 OK, so, I'm not a tester, but I am familiar with Halo 2's code from a casual perspective. Halo 2 is one of the worst programmed masterpieces to ever exist. It is held together by dreams, blood rituals, and an absolute mountain of duct tape code. It is an absolute miracle that Halo 2 Anniversary even functions and has things like mod tools and forge, because honestly even the original Halo 2, while having a nice even surface, you scratch beneath that even a single nick and you find something that you have no idea how it isn't collapsing in on itself in its failing structural integrity.

@@mrraptorzz5919 yap yap

@@crasterlongshanks4284 i also meant the elite thank you for the grunts name

There was a lore explanation for that long ago: The spartan armor not only mimics the user's movement but also enhances it. Since this also aplies to neck movement, a precise, sudden and unexpected hit could result in strong and undesired neck movement injuring or killing a spartan outright in one blow. Unaugmented humans using mjolnir armor would literaly break their own arms and legs just trying to control the suit normaly. Now imagine making a false neck movement in one of em.

LeRoux027 Also the whole Command Neural Interface, literally a hard connection directly to the brain/brain stem.

@@LeRoux027nice

@@LeRoux027 So the armor can slam into the ground at orbital re-entry speeds and this won't even cause a Spartan to turn his head but a decent tap on the side of the head will do it. cool.

@@en4135 If I remember correctly, it was less about the actual force of impact and more about the location, ie a hard blow to the neck/back of the head can break the neural connection thingy (because it's actually rather fragile) and thereby "killing"/disabling the Spartan, but they can survive orbital insertions by locking their armour to absorb the impact and prevent excessive motion. Or some shit like that.

That was a pretty cool comic. It’s funny to think that it was almost the second or third to last level of Halo 2’s original outline. Allegedly Martin O’Donnell might have the script and even audio recordings of Halo 2’s original cut stashed somewhere.

Wait really?

Lord Hood seeing Chief exit the ship with the bomb: *sigh* "Ok Johnson, you won this bet"

It's the same with the first cut scene in halo 3

I liked the heroic and legendary speeches the most

@@obijuanquenobi1911 "Usually the Lord works in mysterious ways, but not today! this here is 30 tons of HE-spewing, DEE-VINE intervention! If God is love, then you can call me cupid!"

"The Chief is gonna jump in this tank roll across the bridge and blow up any inhuman son of a bitch dumb enough to get between him and the Prophet of Regret. Pull yourself together cause you're going with him!"

This is terrifyingly exciting and inspiring

Me and my buddy would do this same thing in halo 3, we'd use deployable cover shields to launch explosive crates at mach 10 into the closest entity, friend or foe. We found out the mauler is excellent at acute environment acceleration, making the lightest of cones into a deadly flying object. We'd recoil in horror as a fuel rod grunt sends debris flying through you with enough force to cripple the fleet that glassed reach. A brute with a hammer wasn't just scary because hammer, but because one swing, if only for a second, would send the immediate area into a lethal typhoon of biblical proportions, executing fucking everyone withing 10 feet, often even himself. Nothing really changed with the hunters, though one time one did kill the other with a single fick of a metal crate, it was exquisite. And every grunt became a devout follower of the great journey, giving their lives in a firey blaze of plasmatic glory at the slightest provocation, often causing a chain reaction of hot blue death and a cascade of regret as you are washed away by a hail of various solid objects, returning you to the soup from whence we all came. Legendary was a challenge, but this beating this challenge made us feel legendary.

Steel legion Troop it’s a fine, ever delicious wine.

How the fuck did I, as a dark Angel's Player up until mid 2019, not see this. This is what GW intended. All the signs are there. The green, the masterful nature of Jonson, it's all linked. Thank you for enlightening me to the truth, friend

Johnson is a Primarch. He was the one of the Primarchs that The Emperor had to get rid of because he was too powerful.

I mean in Halo lore Johnson is a Proto Spartan so this also makes double sense.

@@talenor849 *trips on a rock*

@@nogravitas7585 halo 2 is the best but anyone too young to remember would say 3.

But the Flood can, through other more complex biological means consume and re-use *any* organic material. Hence, natural biomes becoming _Blight_ when the Flood has held territory for long enough.

The flood can actually interface with basically any form of electrical network, not just nervous systems. If it isn't totally inert, the flood can interface and control it. Further, they can convert and use basically any material. Their whole origin story is that they consumed their *entire planet* which then exploded into a billion chunks that flew about the galaxy to infect other planets. During their war with the forerunners, they actively consumed, corrupted, and stole the forerunner's technology by interfacing with it, even going so far as to reverse engineer it when the flood established hyper-intelligent graveminds and then making organic variants of the tech.

@@dicerson9976 the flood are corrupted "precursors" who reverted to a powder form to escape the forerunner slaughter of them.

@@dicerson9976 The problem with the whole question is, what stage does the Flood outbreak has? In the war vs the forerunners, they could infect it because they were already stage 3. A stage 1 outbreak (or even less - a single spore) can't do that. They only can INFECT animals/humans/lifeforms with a working and intact nervous system BUT they can already CONSUME and rework ANY organic matter.

*Rule of Cool* baby!

Now I have this horrible image of old school Micky saying that in a short skirted sailor uniform... I can’t decide if I’m more amused or disturbed.

@Tigerclaw Flood couldn't high jack him because he has Boren's Syndrome caused by plasma weapon radiation exposure. It's in the third Halo book (Halo: First Strike). They may have changed it later but that was the original explanation.

@@ComradePenguinski The true explanation, is that the Flood simply couldn't handle THAT much sheer manliness and charisma. Sargent Major Avery "Rockhard" Johnson, is like the bastard lovechild of Sargent Apone, John Shaft, A Primarch and ALL the Badass in the galaxy. It is also how he escaped from Halo, his sheer manliness warped the fabric of reality, allowing him to open his own Slipspace portal, so he was just on Earth waiting when Master Chief arrived there

Now I just have the mental image of Chief hurling Johnson at the Covenant like a javelin. Unfortunately, the devastation that would cause would make the Halo array activation look like a firecracker in an ant hill, so the maneuver was banned by the Council of Space Buddhas.

They can still only infect life forms with a nervous system but with enough collected biomass and an established Gravemind they can begin to build up large hives and birth pure flood forms like the Tank & Crawler forms,

@@dave_4527 You, uh, you okay there?

The FullCrumb If you’re referring to the triple reply, I tried twice and it said it failed so I reset my internet and tried again and then it decided to still do the other two,

It's not that simple. What can be infected by the flood really depends on the stage of the outbreak. A single spore on a planet only can infect something with a working nervous system. A stage 4 outbreak on the other hand can just infect anything by thinking.

Well yes and no. The method the flood use to infect the forerunner and they're technology was more advanced than they did to humanity. And they had several proto grave minds, not just the one we see in halo 2.

They do name the ship multiple times though. UNSC In Amber Clad.
